Federal Premium Gold Medal .308 Winchester 175gr Sierra MatchKing BTHP Ammunition, 20-Round Box

Federal Premium Gold Medal .308 Winchester 175-grain Sierra MatchKing BTHP ammunition (part no. GM308M2) steps up from the classic 168-grain load with a heavier bullet that carries its ballistic coefficient further downrange. Federal Ammunition loads the 175-grain Sierra MatchKing’s boat-tail hollow-point profile with Gold Medal match primers and Federal-manufactured brass, all built to Federal Premium’s strictest specifications for accuracy, pressure, and velocity. Long-range and precision rifle shooters often prefer the 175-grain weight for its flatter wind drift at extended distances. In rifle ammunition for long-range precision work, this is the heavier-bullet answer to the classic Gold Medal load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose 175 grains over the classic 168-grain load? The heavier bullet carries a higher ballistic coefficient, which translates to less wind drift and a flatter trajectory at longer distances, a common preference for extended-range precision shooting.

Is the MatchKing’s hollow point built to expand like a hunting bullet? No, the open tip is a byproduct of the match-grade forming process, built purely for concentricity and accuracy rather than terminal expansion.
